      Why? It’s true and if the Lemmy Devs themselves aren’t even aware of the existence of effective auto-moderation on the Fediverse I’m not going to assume anyone else is either. People aren’t exactly bragging about or advertising auto-moderation tools on Lemmy so it’s understandable they’d be less known about and also less deployed.

          It’s a more charitable interpretation than to assume they’re doing an intentional appeal to futility, or are pushing for the gatekeeping aspect of application based signup processes. Unfortunately both are very common tactics when other people discuss the manual approval club vs. automod spam removal debate.

          Note, when I say gatekeeping I’m talking about the people who say that they want it because they don’t want people in the fediverse who will “laugh and upvote” and spew some garbage about people needing to put in effort to join lemmy, you know, the usual elitism that has held Lemmy and Fediverse platforms back for a long time.

            I just texted you on Matrix to invite you to the Lemmy Defense HQ channel

            It’s quite interesting to see how many spam accounts admins have to remove even with their automated tools enabled.

            Dbzer0 isn’t a generalist instance, and doesn’t want or have to be.

            The big 3 I posted above are good enough to welcome new joiners looking for a generalist instance with a minimalist application process. Lemm.ee especially now being the default for both Photon and Voyager is definitely getting most of the new comers
